At Piano Traders, we believe that every musician deserves an instrument that inspires. Yamaha has spent over a century defining the standard for the modern piano, and we are proud to bring these world-class instruments to New Zealand homes, studios, and stages.
History of Yamaha Pianos
The Yamaha story began in 1887 when Torakusu Yamaha repaired a broken reed organ, sparking a journey of musical innovation. By 1900, Yamaha produced Japan’s first upright piano, followed shortly by their first grand piano in 1902.
Over the last 120 years, Yamaha has evolved into the world’s premier piano manufacturer by blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. From the legendary U-Series uprights—the most popular pianos in history—to the world-renowned CFX concert grands, Yamaha is synonymous with tuning stability, tonal consistency, and a responsive touch. Today, Yamaha pianos are the preferred choice for international piano competitions and prestigious music conservatories worldwide.

Piano Traders specialises in providing high-quality, pre-loved Yamaha pianos that offer the prestige of the brand at an accessible price point. Every refurbished Yamaha in our Auckland showroom undergoes a meticulous inspection and restoration process:

Tonal Refinement
Each piano is voiced and tuned to bring out the bright, clear, and resonant “Yamaha sound.”
Aesthetic Restoration
Cabinets are polished and detailed to an “as-new” condition, typically in the iconic Polished Ebony finish.
